I was definitely feeling the compound effect of this week's training today, I felt pretty flat both in the weight room and on the track. I felt like the double arm take off I have been working on starting to come together today, it was more automatic. I was pretty flat so I didn't do a whole lot of volume but I did move up to a couple 5 step jumps. I only landed two of them but they looked like they were just over twelve meters which puts them pretty close to my pb for 5 steps. I'll take that considering it was my first time ever doing double arms off of 5 steps, I felt flat and it's the first week of the season! Tomorrow is going to be a pretty light day, just some tempo running followed by a little bit of med-ball work and core. It will feel good to finally rest on Saturday, then it's hard at it for the second week of the season.

Here's a video of one of the five steppers, I felt like I was actually starting to cycle off the hop.
